A new hijab law has been drafted; being without a hijab is a crime, not wearing it improperly.
The punishments include fines, travel bans, and employment restrictions; there is no more morality police.
The Shargh newspaper wrote that if citizens are found without a hijab, the matter will first be reported to the judicial authorities according to the general rules for obvious crimes. If the individual has no prior record of being without a hijab, they will be required to provide a written commitment, and the case will be filed away.
In cases where the individual has a prior record of being without a hijab or refuses to provide a commitment to the judicial authorities, a legal proceeding will be conducted regarding the crime.
The legislator has introduced new punishments as the main penalty under the title of social deprivations in Article 9 of the same bill.
The eighth-degree social punishments include supervision courses, free public services, fines, employment and appointment bans, compulsory residency, travel bans, all for limited durations.
